| Summary: |
Stroke is defined as a sudden onset event, in which different etiologies, predisposing risk factors and a variety of symptoms intervene, the severity and presentation of which will depend on the affected area, very independent of the type of stroke, becoming one of the main causes of death in older adults worldwide. The present research work was carried out at the León Becerra Camacho general hospital in the Milagro canton, the objective of which was to determine the main complications in elderly patients with stroke treated at the León Becerra de Milagro Hospital from January 2019 to June 2021.
Retrospective correlational cross-section, our universe consists of 110 patients who meet the study criteria: diagnosis of cerebrovascular accident and its variants, older than 65 years with a complete medical history and it was taken randomly and probabilistically. Resulting that the most common age range was 65 to 70 years with 33.6%, the most frequent sex was male with 58.2%, the most frequent definitive diagnosis was unspecified cerebrovascular disease, the most frequent complication was recurrence of the event with 30.6%, the most frequent comorbidity was arterial hypertension with 57.3% of the presented comorbidities, followed by diabetes + arterial hypertension with 46.6%. A better definitive diagnosis is needed that allows the type of CVD to be related to the complications that may occur in older adults with said diagnosis. |
